Item 4.01. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(b) Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Avistar Communications Corporation (the “Registrant”) selected Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP (“Burr”) as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 and Burr advised the Registrant of its acceptance of this engagement effective April 18, 2005. The engagement of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm ceased on March 28, 2005, the date upon which KPMG completed its audit of the Registrant’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through March 28, 2005, neither the Registrant nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Burr regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Registrant nor oral advice was provided by Burr that was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regula tion S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
